I'm thinking a win -- why not at this point : )

[clipsfever]

I'll tune-in for at least one more season of the Beard-Bogi-Zu bromance.
(and I am a Nielsen household)

ok boyz...

Dubs without Curry lost to the Hawks

Clippers have already clinched the season series [3-0] and the tiebreaker

[Kelphus]

Vegas doesn't believe.... Clips 3.5 point dogs. Or maybe they do... OKC has best record in NBA, is 18 games ahead of Clippers, yet they're only 3.5 point favorites tomorrow against the Clippers. We are getting respect there.

Same handicap against the Cavs I believe. Let's go with moneyline again

Good! Time to reclaim the 6th seed!! Go Clippers!!

[LamarWho]

2 of their top 3 players are out, we gotta get this win.

[KL2]

About as a good first quarter as you could hope for.

Simmons looking to attack and score. Nice.

Bogi and Norm laying eggs so far.

Cut to 6 just like that.

How can you have such a horrible second after that first.

[KL2]

Knew it wouldn’t be easy. At least they’ve dug in after losing the big lead. But that second quarter start was a momentum killer.

Powell looks awful. Bogi at least can do other things.

Looks like 10 thunder players out there while we stand around and watch.

Outscored 33-17. No hustle. Getting beat to the 50-50 balls. Shai 5-16

Powell 1-6
Harden 2-8
Bogi 0-3

[Captain Ballmer]

OKC makes a lot of contact on defense and gets away with it "best defensive team" label. Just saying.

[KL2]

Harden finally gets up but he’s in pain. Yikes.

Still not over choosing Wall over Hartenstein.

Losing these 50-50 balls is so frustrating.

They have a counter for every run we make. We can’t get over the hump and take the lead back.

6th seed on the line and we’re fumbling it.

Can’t win giving up all those second chance points.

[KL2]

I give them credit. They’re not hanging their heads. They’re digging in.

But damn. It’s like they’re having to fight 3x as hard while Thunder haven’t broken a sweat.

Hopefully Kawhi leads us home. Not sure I trust anyone else right now. But he looks gassed.

Powell needs to keep his cool. Sorry he got hit but a T is not needed right now.

[KL2]

Zu gets mauled an no call.

Harden and his costly turnovers again.

Missed ft.

We really going o lose another heartbreaker.

That blows.

Too many guys bleeped the bed tonight.

[Scoundreldays]

Thunder can hold Jerseys and no fouls called

[KL2]

Who told Lue to challenge that last call? Using our last timeout was costly.

[og15]

That was tough

[Max Headrom]

OKC Refs

[LamarWho]

This has to be Shai's worst shooting game of the season, and we still can't win. We really need Norm to start playing like a 24ppg player again.

[KL2]

Harden 4-14 and 6 costly turnovers

Powell 4-12 and still not looking right

Bogi who’s been on a terror 1-6 tonight

One or two of those guys contribute more and we probably looking at a win.

Wish Shaw coached this game and Lue took another night off.
